Chapter 65: Grade A Evaluation! A Baffling Assessment!

However, the moment Ye Chuyun placed his hand upon the divine stele, it began to spin into action.

Hum!

The divine stele suddenly emitted a brilliance even more dazzling than when testing Titan, as if it were exerting its full effort to evaluate Ye Chuyun's combat power.

Immediately afterward, the other nine divine steles began to tremble in unison.

"What is going on?!"

This was the first time anyone had ever witnessed such a phenomenon.

Especially Tanmo and Titan; upon seeing this scene, the two of them turned to look at each other simultaneously, a bold thought flashing through both of their minds at the same time.

"Good heavens, could this possibly be..."

Boom!

Suddenly, the divine stele shot out a blinding golden beam of light that struck Ye Chuyun squarely.

When the golden light dissipated, a giant letter "A" symbol materialized on the portal.

"A... A-rank?!"

Everyone was utterly shocked, their eyes glued tightly to the portal.

"Th... This is impossible! A human from a low-tier world actually managed to receive an A-rank evaluation?"

Contenders from other worlds roared in bitter resentment.

"To attain an A-rank evaluation, one's combat power must be at least ten thousand at a minimum. Could it be that this human, merely at level 10, already possesses a combat power of no less than ten thousand?"

"A combat power of ten thousand at level 10? How can that be? According to what that human said, his world has only descended into the Divine-Demon World for less than three days!"

"Damn, I feel like I've just been slapped across the face."

This spectacle was undoubtedly a resounding slap to their faces delivered by Ye Chuyun, leaving them dizzy and disoriented.

"Fellow clansman, I never expected you to be this formidable. Congratulations!"

Ink Tiger burst into a loud cheer from the side, making the others feel even more embarrassed and unable to hold their heads up.

Among the crowd, Titan wore an expression of sheer disbelief.

He had always fancied himself a standout among the younger generation of the Tianze Star at level 10.

In order to lay a solid foundation, he had consumed countless heavenly treasures, awakened multiple talents, and even possessed a special physique.

Yet, despite all that, he still fell short compared to a human from a low-tier world.

The shock Ye Chuyun brought him was far more intense than what anyone else felt.

This time, when he looked at Ye Chuyun, he no longer dared to harbor the slightest trace of contempt.

By now, Titan had begun to respect him as a true powerhouse.

"What a pity. Judging by my combat power, I thought I could reach S-rank. I never expected it to be only A-rank."

Ye Chuyun glanced at the "A" rank symbol on the portal and sighed slightly to himself.

Tanmo noticed Ye Chuyun's reaction and, as if guessing what he was thinking, smiled and said, "My friend, you shouldn't be so greedy."

"To earn an S-rank evaluation, your combat power needs to be at least twenty thousand."

"Up until now, I haven't seen more than a few individuals capable of reaching twenty thousand combat power at level 10. Even among high-tier worlds, it is a rare feat; it is simply too difficult."

"Perhaps only those in Earth-tier, Heaven-tier, or even God-tier worlds could achieve it."

"Twenty thousand combat power..." Ye Chuyun clicked his tongue inwardly upon hearing this.

He had gone through so much grueling effort just to push his combat power past twelve thousand.

Little did he know that achieving an S-rank evaluation required a combat power of over twenty thousand.

This requirement struck Ye Chuyun as somewhat absurd.

Even with his cheating abilities, he wasn't sure he could reach that target.

With that thought, Ye Chuyun let go of his disappointment.

So what if there was no S-rank? An A-rank was already quite good.

Compared to the F-rank of his past life, an A-rank was vastly superior.

Besides, even if he couldn't attain an S-rank evaluation at the first tier, who was to say he couldn't reach it when he advanced to the second tier?

Anything is possible!

At this moment, Tanmo continued, "Actually, I am more curious about what kind of trial an A-rank Heavenly Dao evaluation entails. Could it be the same as Titan's—collecting heritage fragments and synthesizing the Chapter of Heritage?"

"My friend, if possible, could you tell me about the trial content after the Heavenly Dao evaluation concludes?"

"That's no problem." Ye Chuyun pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Then he turned around and strode into the portal under the gaze of the crowd.

It wasn't until Ye Chuyun's figure vanished from their sight that they began to voice their thoughts with sighs.

"I wonder if this human from a low-tier world can pass the A-rank Heavenly Dao evaluation."

"Hard to say. As far as I know, even people from high-tier worlds don't necessarily pass the A-rank evaluation."

"Hehe, let's hope this human isn't unlucky enough to run into the exact same trial content as Titan."

...

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chuyun arrived at a dim, gloomy plain.

In the distance of the plain, a mountain piercing the clouds towered solemnly.

A faint silver light flickered atop the peak, illuminating the otherwise dim plain.

[Prompt: You have arrived at the Source Realm!]

[Prompt: You are in a special world. All chat channels and private messages have been disabled, making external communication impossible!]

[Prompt: The flow of time in this realm differs from the outside; ten minutes here equals one minute outside.]

"Is this... spatial teleportation?"

Ye Chuyun used the [Appraise] skill, hoping to obtain a map.

[Prompt: Your skill cannot parse this location.]

"What?"

Ye Chuyun was slightly taken aback, not expecting this place to be unparseable.

As expected of a Heavenly Dao evaluation; it was truly extraordinary.

Moreover, the Heavenly Dao hadn't even informed him what kind of trial he needed to complete.

Left with no choice, Ye Chuyun decided to explore on his own first.

Summoning his Wind Feather Wings, he intended to fly up into the sky and survey the overall terrain.

Before he could even take flight, however, a barrage of light swords plummeted from the sky!

"Crap!"

Subconsciously, Ye Chuyun activated his Supreme Gold Shield, wrapping himself in a protective golden barrier.

Clang, clang, clang!

At that moment, light swords continuously materialized and attacked from the sky, growing more numerous by the second.

Furthermore, the attack power of these light swords was exceptionally formidable.

Ye Chuyun felt that his Supreme Gold Shield might not be able to hold out much longer.

Reluctantly, Ye Chuyun had no choice but to abandon flight.

The moment he put away his wings and his feet touched the ground, the light swords vanished, halting their assault.

"What the heck, this is basically a rule forbidding me from flying."

Ye Chuyun felt thoroughly exasperated.

"Heavenly Dao, what exactly do you want me to do? At least give me a hint."

"Fine, if I can't fly, walking on the ground should be fine, right?"

Sighing softly, Ye Chuyun lifted his foot to take a step.

Suddenly, dozens of light swords burst upward from beneath his feet, shooting into the sky.

Ye Chuyun reacted in less than a second, performing a backflip to evade the ambush of the light swords.

Before he could even catch his breath, another wave of light swords began raining down from the sky.

"Damn it, are they trying to torture me to death?!"

Ye Chuyun brandished the runic greatsword in his hand, using his shield to defend while swatting away all the incoming light swords.

He also noticed a recurring pattern.

The longer he stayed in this damned place, the more light swords would spawn, and the greater their attack power would become.

He finally understood.

This trial was practically designed to drive him to his grave.
